Yesterday, along with my @TsaousisLab, @AgrosBiome and the Quex research team we visited the farm where we are going to establish new feeding trials for the cows ll! Pilot study starting in Autumn this year, so do stay tuned!

Our commentary on the role of #Blastocystis and #Urticaria:
We argue for better evidence: longitudinal sampling, quantitative detection, subtype/allele resolution, validated urticaria outcomes, and clearance-linked clinical endpoints.

Happy to share our latest review in @ACS_Infectious on #Leishmania, Beyond the Sand Fly and the Macrophage.
We argue that tackling #leishmaniasis requires a deeper understanding of parasite biology, persistence, and host-vector interactions.

Many thanks to the @MicrobioSocfor inviting me to speak at #microbio26 in Belfast (Ireland), where I discussed #Blastocystis and its role in health and "disease" through the pioneering work we are developing in our @TsaousisLab, with support from the @BlastocystisC Action.

We have put together this commentary not to criticise any work but to highlight that is necessary to ensure that proper research is done on #Blastocystis! Spread the word!

Our #OneHealth survey of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in rural Adana, Türkiye identified known zoonotic genotypes and two novel ITS genotypes in livestock.
New contribution to understanding parasite transmission across the human-animal-environment interface.

It’s World Parasite Awareness Day!
Parasites don’t respect borders, and as our climate changes, they’re moving into new territories faster than ever.

#Blastocystis is one of the most common gut #protists globally, yet it’s still framed as pathogen vs commensal. A One Health lens (subtypes, host context, animals environment) makes it clear: it deserves sharper, subtype-aware microbiology.
